Is anyone using a Motorola SB5100 cable modem successfuly with eCS-OS/2 and
Comcast?   I tried one last summer, after my old 3Com Sharkfin modem died,
but it downloaded like a slug when used with eCS 1.1 or Warp 4 (1.5 meg DL
speed, should have been 6 meg.  I had no problem the one day a week I
booted to Win98SE to keep my spyware and antivirus software updated, and
browse sites with video OS/2-eCS didn't have a plugin for - 6 meg
downloads.)  I never got to try it with eCS 1.2.

I replaced it with a D-Link DCM-202 modem.  It downloads 6 meg with eCS
(1.1 and 1.2), Warp 4, and Win98SE.  The only problem with it is that some
sites (cnn.com, maps.google.com among them) will only load after a reboot
of eCS - try them later in the day, or the next day, and they don't load in
any broswer (not Firefox, Mozilla, Seamonkey, Netscape, or Opera.)  Having
to reboot daily defeats the advantage of the stability of eCS.  *adh*
